Barrister Zahid Jamil’s house attacked with hand grenade

The house of former FIA’s lead prosecutor in the Axact scandal, Barrister Zahid Jamil’s has been attacked with a hand grenade.

The assault has occurred at a time when the federal government was negotiating his re-engagement for the case after questionable role of FIA that led to the bail of Shoaib Sheikh, the Chief Executive Officer of Axact Company.

As many as four lawyers have already quit this case due to ‘circumstances of Karachi.’ A top investigator of FIA who collected forensic evidence against alleged frauds of Axact has been chased, intercepted and taken to unmarked locations for ‘counselling’ on the case for several times.

Barrister Zahid Jamil’s house came under attack Thursday night when two unknown assailants hurled a hand grenade inside the house situated in DHA, Karachi. The attack seemed a serious attempt designed to cause damage, said a police officer.

While he directed the legal team from behind the scene for sometimes, there was a realisation that black sheep in FIA would compromise the case in absence of his full control as a lead prosecutor.

Weak defence of FIA in bail applications is a clear example of alleged collusion as such

Abdul Ghaffar, FIA Deputy Director, who made it possible to collect prosecutable forensic evidence, is also in the eyes of the storm. He has been chased and intercepted especially on the signal crossing.
